    Mr Scrooge has been working overtime in creating Paddy’s WOPS but he may have left a drop of value in this one if Boro manage to click today

    Boro score in each half and register 2 Corners in each half.

    7/2 Chance!

    It’s a guess which team will handle heat best but mine is that Boro may be more efficient in that department with the Tigers’ physicality being lessened.

    It was just sad to see a team die of stage-fright on their own patch last night on such an important occasion – it might have been understandable at Wembley. The Lions never got their engine started and looked way out of their depth. Maybe they need a new sports psychologist!

    I had hoped Boro might have been a good Wembley play but they seem to be carrying one or two slowcoaches who are impeding their overall performance. However they were unlucky not to make an early breakthrough in the first leg. They should go all out in the first half tonight to establish supremacy and the same in any final. The longer the match draws on tonight the more likely a Saints victory.

    Rumour has it that Karl Turner has given the Tiggers a pep-talk so expect an improved Hull performance tonight! They were never going to enter the Lions’ den with a one goal lead in a knackered state – after the Canaries game too. Just overdid it on Friday I reckon. Still think the Millwall Tractor Boys will be too mobile in the 2nd half and should qualify.

    An ACCA to finish a disappointing season. Not as if I’m not overdue some luck!

    Lions qualify against Tiggers
    Saints v Boro 2 1st half goals (the gamble)
    Chelsea v Citeh FA Cup BTTS
    PSG Champion League Winners

    8-9 /1 ACCA Chance!

    They’re not called Hull Athletic for a reason :whistle:

    One of these WOPS has to work!

    Both Boro and Saints look like teams that can score and concede and well able to crowd the boxes. Boro the more classy passing side – put a hex on them when I said they were the Arsenal of the Championship when riding high mid season!

    BTTS and 2 Corners each team each half is an ambitious 6/1 Chance!

    Don’t fancy the Tiggers getting to the final but there must be a good chance they’ll get the ball over the line somehow tonight against the London Tractor Boys! They may need 10 corners of intensity to generate that goal!

    1 Tigger goal & 5 Tigger Corners 6/4 WOP

    Bayern were out of it when 5-2 down but PSG were out of it in the final quarter of the first leg so very even clash awaits methinks. Germans need to give the French a thorough physical examination in the first half and concentrate on goal-scoring in the second half and in extra time if necessary.

    Fun fiver on Bayern to qualify in extra-time at around 8/1 as a match-day value bet

    Gunners would do well to treat tonight as a dry run for the final. We saw last night how below par PL football is and tonight is a final Chance for them to sharpen up their act. They should benefit from a faster pitch than prevailed in Madrid. Would be surprised if they don’t score 3

    One of Paddy’s WOPs to accompany the popcorn!

    2 Gunner Goals
    5 Gunner Corners
    2 Spanish Cards

    9/4 Chance!

    Cards least confident about!

    Well done Win and Place winners

    The Prettiest Star would have got 3rd if she had handled the dip better

    Liked the way winner looked straight over at Francesca once out of her lorry. Wide awake!

    Stamina doubts about many of these so fav could win despite fast ground

    But I’ll take her on to be eclipsed by Venetian Sun and The Prettiest Star who should enjoy a rattle at least!

    Avicenna’s finish in the Craven reminded me vaguely of the George Washington clip earlier in the Morning Show and he certainly looked like he might strip fitter next time so I’ll join his fanciers for the value ride.

    Wouldn’t be basing my calculations on the Dewhurst alone about the 5/2 favourite

    Adaay not the biggest so maybe worth taking a chance on the outsider of three
    I’d like to see Levey dictate things from the front on the Bear as he looks uncomplicated.

    May limit my GAA bets to the Championship semi-finals and final – between Kerry failing to turn up in a meaningful way in the League Final and that “It’s showtime” France England Six Nations match enough to turn anyone off sports betting!

    Had to take the 7/4 about Bayern lifting the CL Cup – particularly impressed by their performance in the Bernabeu against Madrid. Great all round stature, individual skills and almost telepathic passing. Not so impressive at home granted. But can they impose their excellent German game against PSG? This semi is the real final IMHO

    Thought Ryan looked very high in the saddle on New Zealand this afternoon and would have been disappointed if I had backed him. Has he made a full recovery from his injury :scratch:
